Vertebrae

Shelf System

Vertebrae
is a versatile and modular shelving system, based on simple yet
intelligent components. The design consists of two perfectly fitting
elements, the wooden boards and the metal structure, and are
available in several variations, both in size as in finishing. An
aesthetic simplicity reigns as the metal brackets and the wooden
shelves merge together into endless possibilities of shelving units.

The design grew quickly when Frederik Delbart understood that
he wanted more than just a shelving system with character. It didn't
only need to have the looks. It had to be possible to use both as a
single piece and as a combination. The design of a systematic
supporting construction gave access to creating a wide variety of
different shelves : from a small disk to a large board, with
differences in space between the shelves and multiple colour
combinations. The decision to use high-end materials are a meeting
point for the philosophy of both the designer as Per/Use : different
types of solid wood, such as Walnut and Oak for the boards; and steel
in various colours (polished chrome, red copper, black and white).
